Abstract: It is intended to provide a composite implant material to be used in treating articular bone/cartilage injuries such as avascular necrosis of the femoral head at the hip joint and avascular necrosis of the knee bone head, reconstructing and fixing an artificial ligament or tendon of a biological origin, bonding and fixing a bone, etc. wherein a part thereof substitutes for the bone tissue and stably bonds to a living bone at the early stage while the remainder thereof sustains a required strength for a required period of time and the whole material finally substitutes for the living bone and thus disappears. A composite implant material wherein a dense composite comprising a biodegradable/bioabsorbable polymer containing a bioabsorbable and biologically active bioceramic powder therein and a porous composite comprising a biodegradable/bioabsorbable polymer containing a bioabsorbable and biologically active bioceramic powder therein are united together. The porous composite substitutes for the bone tissue and stably bonds to a living bone at the early stage while the dense composite sustains a required strength for a required period of time and the whole material finally substitutes for the living bone and thus disappears. Owing to these characteristics, this composite implant material sufficiently meets the demand in the clinical field.

Title: Panel smoothing process and apparatus for forming a smooth continuous surface on fiber-reinforced structural cement panels
Inventor: STIVENDER EUGENE SCOTT
IPC: B32B13/00
Filed: 2007-10-26
Abstract: A vibrating flexible smoothing sheet or shroud disposed transversely of a direction of travel of a formed fiber panel including gypsum-cementitious slurry and embedded chopped fibers. The sheet is used to smooth the surface of the panel as it exits a fiber embedment station of a structural cementitious panel production line to remove grooves and other non-uniform surface imperfections to reduce the need for costly finishing after the panels are cured and cut to size. The flexible sheet is designed to float over the surface of the formed panel without tearing or otherwise damaging the surface of the heavily fiber reinforced surface layers of the panel. The vibrating sheet is pivotally mounted on the side dams of the web production line so it can float over the panel surface during use, but be raised off the line when not in use.

Abstract: A method for estimating seismic data from sources of noise in the earth. The method includes calculating a first set of Green's functions between a first seismic receiver and each seismic receiver of an array of seismic receivers using interferometry. The array of seismic receivers is disposed around the first seismic receiver, and the first seismic receiver is part of the array of seismic receivers. The method also includes calculating one or more correction factors to correct the first set of Green's functions and calculating a second set of Green's functions between each seismic receiver of the array and a second seismic receiver using interferometry. Here, the first seismic receiver is disposed at a predetermined distance away from the second seismic receiver. Also, the first set and the second set of Green's functions are biased due to non-identical strengths of the sources of noise. The method then applies the correction factors to the second set of Green's functions to create a set of unbiased Green's functions between each seismic receiver of the array and the second seismic receiver.
